Outdoor Living
Pool Overlook + Lounge I Oakton, VA
Project Overview
When this growing family in Oakton, VA added a pool to their backyard, they quickly realized the outdoor space lacked a strong connection to the home. With four children, two dogs, and an in-law living with them full-time, the homeowners envisioned a backyard that could comfortably serve three generations while making it easier to move between indoor and outdoor living.
The existing yard offered plenty of space and potential, but it wasn’t designed for gathering, relaxing, or easy access from the home. The family wanted a solution that would enhance their outdoor lifestyle while also providing a quiet retreat for their elderly mother/mother-in-law.
To create the primary gathering space, a spacious screened porch was added to the rear of the home. The porch features expansive ScreenEze® wall systems, allowing for large, unobstructed screened openings that bring in natural light and breezes while keeping insects out. The result is a comfortable outdoor room that seamlessly connects the interior of the home to the backyard and pool area.
On the opposite side of the house, a private deck with a pergola was designed specifically for the mother-in-law. This smaller outdoor space provides a peaceful retreat where she can relax outside while still remaining close to family activities.
To improve circulation throughout the property, the project also included the creation of a new doorway leading directly to the backyard, complete with a durable Trex landing for a low-maintenance transition space. An additional doorway was added from the garage to the backyard, making it easier for the family to move between outdoor activities, the pool area, and the home.
The finished design transformed the backyard into a functional, welcoming outdoor environment—balancing lively family gatherings with quieter moments of relaxation and giving every generation a place to enjoy the outdoors.
